Don't forget the acid-wash denim jacket, with the collar turned up. When did this guy stop buying clothes, 1985?

I have a personal theory that people stop changing their hairstyles at the point in life when they are happiest (which indicates to me that Rod Stewart and Liza Minelli were both happiest around 1973). Imus appears to have gone overboard, with not only his hair but his wardrobe calling back to a kinder, simpler time when he was perhaps, more popular and when his system could actually handle all the illicit substances he put into it.

Though, applying this theory means Tucker Carlson was happiest in 1958, and I'm not sure he was technically alive then.

No they can't be members

Those that were fortunate enough to see the class that the women of the Rutgers basketball team demonstrated at their press conference, the dignity and poise they possess, have seen fine young student atheletes that should serve as positive role models for not only black people, but also women of any color. They gained my respect even more for their intelligence than they had previously for their athletic abilities. Their parents should feel pride in their daughters equal to that which their eloquent coach expressed.

What about invisible women? Racist.

Duh...that's precisely why they can't make the cut.

I found it more than ironic that there was no mention of Martha Burk this year.

Thank you for your silence. I didn't know what you were talking about.
Since you were unable to answer, I guess you didn't either.
Interesting me is how some have shown themselves on this thread.
One wants others to have a "thicker skin", but when challenged demonstrates how thin his own is. I call that move a "check-mate".
Then there are the defenders. The bigots also showed up. Pity them also.
Here's an article you might wish to read and comment about.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/10/op...=1&oref=slogin

Oh, right, I expect you to come back and attack me rather than discuss the article I posted. Go ahead...it will be lame, as usual.

On behalf of the bigots, racists, and "thin skinned" people we officially have put this distressing, disturbing, horrific, terrible incident and resulting thread behind us. I'm sure this will be wrong and show us to be shallow or lacking empathy but so be it. I'm sure that you will continue to throw stones down upon us fools from your ivory tower but we just dont have it in us to respond. Forgive our lameness or ability to see your side of an issue.

Downthestretch55 04-10-2007 03:07 PM

Thank you both for your kind thoughts.
I asked for discussion on the article I posted, and yet again....pathetic attacks.
And thank you both for clearly proving my point, yet again.

Coach Pants 04-10-2007 03:09 PM

That article is for nappyheaded hos and I want no part of it.

GenuineRisk 04-10-2007 03:12 PM

I think it's a good editorial, though I wish she would have told Imus to throw out his acid-wash jacket and to put his collars down.

somerfrost 04-10-2007 03:44 PM

Wow...I haven't posted to this thread and have only read the last page of comments...my opinion, since it appears everybody else has weighed in...Imus always seemed like a decent sort, does a lot for charity...his remarks were totally out of line and he will suffer the consequences, as he should. PC is one thing, making those kind of remarks toward young women is another...it amazes me how stupid public figures can be at times, but racism and sexism run deep in this culture and the fact that this thread is this long speaks volumes.

Thank you for bringing up that point. If it was a conservative, that
person would be crucified to no end. When Imus first started out on
radio I think he was conservative and just recently in the past
couple of years became more liberal each year.
